Donald Onuoha, born in Lagos in 1971, is a distinguished Nigerian artist celebrated for his mastery of Cubism and his distinctive painting style. He graduated with a Distinction in Painting from the Institute of Management Technology, Enugu, in 1999, and has since gained recognition for his ability to blend boldness with emotional depth. Onuoha's works, primarily created using roller brushes with oil and acrylic on canvas, are visually arresting and conceptually layered, resonating with both local and global audiences. Deeply influenced by Cubism, Onuoha's art explores complex themes of beauty, femininity, and identity.

Throughout his career, Onuoha has exhibited his work in numerous prestigious group exhibitions, both in Nigeria and internationally.

His works continue to evolve, offering new interpretations of identity, culture, and the female form, est.
